ST. PAUL, Minn., March 5, 2019 — Hyperion Research today invited members of the worldwide high performance computing (HPC) community to submit entries for the next round of HPC Innovation Excellence Awards. Awards will be presented during Hyperion Research’s popular HPC market update breakfast that happens each year during the ISC European supercomputing conference in Frankfurt, Germany.

“The HPC Innovation Excellence Award recognizes noteworthy achievements by users of high performance computing (HPC) technologies,” said Alex Norton, Hyperion Research research analyst. “The program’s main goals are to showcase scientific success stories and return on investment (ROI) successes involving HPC; to help other users better understand the benefits of adopting HPC and justify HPC investments; to demonstrate the value of HPC to funding bodies and politicians; and to expand public support for increased HPC investments.”

Hyperion Research welcomes award entries from anywhere in the world. Entries may be submitted by completing the brief form available at https://www.hpcuserforum.com/innovationaward/. The form should be completed by the candidate project’s principal investigator or other project leader. Submissions are evaluated by the HPC User Forum Steering Committee, a volunteer, international group representing HPC user organizations in government, industry and academia. They may call on domain experts for further evaluation.
